by Rebecca Walker — September 6, 2010—Energy Resource Management, an energy efficiency finance company, has announced the publication of a research report in collaboration with the U.S. Center for American Progress in Washington, D.C.
The report, Efficiency Works: Creating Good Jobs and New Markets Through Energy Efficiency, lists the 10 U.S. states leading in the creation of energy efficiency-fueled jobs and industries, and provides a report card on innovative state energy policies.
The states profiled are leaders in creating energy efficiency programs that work as effective partnerships between regulatory agencies, utilities, commercial and residential building owners, large campus owners and private capital investors.
The top states recognized for promoting energy efficiency are Connecticut, California, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, Texas, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Ohio.
The states recognized in this report are aggressively addressing the needs of customers and investors in their markets, says the report, which also argues the need for creative financial tools that can transform energy efficiency opportunity while creating jobs immediately.
